The far-left Washington Post and Los Angeles Times are losing tens of millions of dollars annually. Tee hee. After decades of spreading bias, lies, conspiracy theories, and political violence, the chickens have finally come to roost at these dreadful publications. “A new report saying billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong has sunk hundreds of millions of his own money into an unprofitable Los Angeles Times underscores how desperate the news industry is to chart a plan for survival in the digital era,” reports the equally dreadful Axios.

The House Oversight Committee reported Thursday Kevin Morris said that he gave Hunter Biden at least $5 million to pay off his tax debts and personal expenses and purchased over half of Hunter Biden's artwork, confirming months of reporting by Just the News. "Kevin Morris’s massive financial support to Hunter Biden raises ethical and campaign finance concerns for President Joe Biden. Shortly after meeting Hunter Biden at a Joe Biden campaign event in 2019, Kevin Morris began paying Hunter Biden’s tax liability to insulate then-presidential candidate Joe Biden from political liability," Chairman James Comer said in a statement. "Kevin Morris...

New York City taxpayers, some of the most tax-burdened in the nation, are seeing a massive transfer of wealth as they foot the bill for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to help carry out Mayor Eric Adams’ migrant hotels scheme. Since the spring of last year, more than 100,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in the sanctuary city of New York City. Less than 15 percent were sent on buses by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and the majority remain living in the city’s network of shelters, which now includes luxury hotels.

Former US President Donald Trump has turned his mugshot into a particularly lucrative business. Less than two hours after he left the Fulton County Jail in Georgia, where the now-famous photo was taken, his campaign's fundraising committee began to sell memorabilia bearing the mugshot alongside the caption, "Never surrender," that the former president wrote in his X account before and after he turned himself in. Among other things, the campaign offers T-shirts with the mugshot and inscription, cups, stickers, portable beverage coolers, plates and more. The prices of souvenirs range from 12 dollars for a sticker to 36 dollars for...

Mayor Eric Adams’ administration is launching a sweeping program to wipe out potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in medical debt that New York City patients owe to hospitals and other health-care providers, The Post has learned. The city Health Department has entered into an agreement with the national not-for-profit group Medical Debt Resolution/RIP Medical Debt. RIP Medical Debt acquires the patients’ debt from hospitals at a fraction of face value and pays it off with private donations raised, as well as public funding. “RIP Medical Debt will act as the third party between funders and hospitals to forgive medical...

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Millions of Americans in the West and South will stay trapped under a dome of heat, while a system of storms is set to dunk the East with severe showers and flash flooding through the end of July. In a heatwave smothering the western third of the country through the end of the month, some spots are already reaching record high temperatures. A separate pattern will keep showering rain along the East Coast..

Black Lives Matter ended last year on a nearly $9 million deficit — while still paying out millions to organizers as well as relatives of controversial co-founder Patrisse Cullors. Tax documents shared by The Washington Free Beacon show that BLM’s Global Network Foundation ended the financial year in the red to the tune of $8,559,748. The filings show that the non-profit recorded revenue of $8.5 million — roughly half the more than $17 million it spent. That deficit is made even more extreme given that the previous year it actually increased its piggybank, earning nearly $42 million after expenses. The...

Millions of people in the U.S. are now facing the precipice of a hunger cliff. Starting in 2020, the pandemic pulled back the curtain on the tattered state of the U.S. safety net and the millions of families who were falling through. Hunger rates were expected to soar like they did during the Great Recession. But that’s not what happened. Thanks to a pandemic expansion of the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, millions of Americans kept food on their tables during an unprecedented public health and economic emergency. These “emergency allotments” made food easier to access and increased the number...

A Gage Park man's $11 million estate will be divided among 119 distant relatives, officials said. Joseph Stancak lived a quiet life in Gage Park and was found dead in his modest bungalow on South Troy Street in 2016, according to the state treasurer’s office. Little is known about him — except that he left behind a fortune, said Rudy Quinn, president of Linking Assets Inc., a company that finds unclaimed money. Stancak never married, had no children or immediate family and died at 87 years old with no will, Quinn said. He was a lifelong Chicagoan who owned a...

Black Lives Matter transferred millions to a Canadian charity run by the wife of its co-founder to purchase a sprawling mansion that had once served as the headquarters of the Communist Party, public records show. M4BJ, a Toronto-based non-profit set up by Janaya Khan and other Canadian activists, snagged the 10,000 square foot historic property for the equivalent of $6.3 million in cash in July 2021, according to Toronto property records viewed by The Post.

The Biden administration will be distributing hundreds of millions of free N95 masks from the Strategic National Stockpile, according to a report. The administration's plan, which will be announced Wednesday, involves dispersing N95s through pharmacies and community sites, offering more Americans easier access to the medical-grade protective masks amid the spike of COVID-19 cases, Politico reported.

Millions of filthy, used medical gloves — some even obviously bloodstained — were imported into the US from Thailand amid a shortage of personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a disturbing report. A months-long investigation by CNN found that the soiled, second-hand nitrile gloves were shipped to desperate US distributors after import regulations were suspended at the start of the pandemic to address surging demand. “There was just no other answer. There was no way to meet the demand,” industry expert Douglas Stein said told CNN. “But that opened the floodgates for all the nefarious behavior.”

It seems for a lot of Americans, that short drive from home to office may no longer happen very often. Nor might the family drive to grandma's. Or a trip to a football or basketball game. Instead they'll apparently walk to a train station, get on and ride, then walk from the train station to their destination. It's because President Biden is going to take "literally, millions of automobiles" off the road. His comments came this week while he was promoting his big-spending, big-government agenda, and were captured by CNS News. The report explained that "in his mind," if he...

TODD: Now, just a few moments ago, President Biden and I have to say, I’m not sure what they did. Maybe they fixed his meds. Maybe they gave him a couple of uppers. But he seemed to be more coherent in his interactions with the press today. President Biden coming out and addressing this story, this image that we’ve been talking about for several days now. The image shows Border Patrol agents on horseback trying to corral these illegal alien invaders...

President Joe Biden previewed a plan Tuesday to send millions of masks to people across the country to encourage mask-wearing during the coronavirus pandemic. “We’re probably going to be sending out an awful lot of masks around the country,” Biden said. “Millions of them.”

President Joe Biden’s coronavirus response team is considering mailing millions of masks to Americans to encourage mask-wearing as the coronavirus pandemic continues. A White House official told NBC News Biden’s coronavirus response team is evaluating the idea but no decision has been made or proposed to the president.

You’ve probably never heard of Gareth Jones. You’ve certainly heard of the writer he inspired, and the classic dystopian novel that writer created. You were forced to read it, or at least the Cliff’s Notes, in high school. But shorn of its context, that novel lacks the full punch it could deliver. Mr. Jones (2019), starring Peter Sarsgaard and James Norton, directed by Oscar nominee Agnieszka Holland and written by Andrea Chalupa, provides that context in a must-see film. Mr. Jones is powerfully relevant today, even more than when it premiered in 2019. You have undoubtedly heard of “cancel culture,”...

LONDON (AP) — The British government on Wednesday extended its toughest coronavirus restrictions to three-quarters of England’s population, saying a fast-spreading new variant of the virus has reached most of the country. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the government’s top infection-warning level, Tier 4, would be expanded beyond London and the southeast to cover large swaths of central, northern and southwest England. Under Tier 4, people are advised to stay home, mixing of households is prohibited, nonessential shops are shut and restaurants and bars can only offer takeout.
